A U.S. federal judge in the criminal conspiracy trial of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and three other men on Monday warned that prosecutors' failure to produce documents that could support defense arguments may lead to a mistrial.
The four men, including two of Bundy's sons Ammon and
Ryan, are accused of conspiring to use the threat of force in a 2014
armed standoff with federal agents near Bundy's ranch. It galvanized
right-wing militia groups challenging U.S. government authority over
public lands in the American West.
The revolt was sparked by the court-ordered roundup of
Bundy's cattle by government agents over his refusal to pay fees
required to graze the herd on federal land.
